The pressure applied to a steak Knife p(a) varies inversely to the contact area of the blade to the steak a. The pressure of the knife measures 10 kg/mm when its area is 4 mm^2. Once the area is changed what whole number would be used as the numerator to complete the right side of this equation ? p(a)=?/a

no not all of them.

step-by-step explanation:

some of them have a square base.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
